A loom from the 1890s with a dobby head. A dobby loom, or dobbie loom, [1] is a type of floor loom that controls all the warp threads using a device called a dobby. [2]Dobbies can produce more complex fabric designs than tappet looms [2] but are limited in comparison to Jacquard looms.
Dobby-loom control mechanism. The pegs driven into the bars (hung in a loop on the left) each lift one "treadle" in a pre-determined pattern, like lifting the teeth of a music box. Hooghly District, West Bengal, 2019
Dobby, or dobbie, is a woven fabric produced on the dobby loom, characterised by small geometric patterns and extra texture in the cloth. [1] The warp and weft threads may be the same colour or different. Satin threads are particularly effective in this kind of weave as their texture will highlight the pattern.

dobby loom A dobby loom is a loom in which each harness can be manipulated individually. This is in contrast to a treadle loom, where the harnesses are attached to a number of different treadles depending on the weave structure. double weave Double weave is a type of advanced weave. It is done by interlacing two or more sets of warps with two ...
A loom from the 1890s with a dobby head. Illustration from the Textile Mercury. The first ideas for an automatic loom were developed in 1784 by M. de Gennes in Paris and by Vaucanson in 1745, but these designs were never developed and were forgotten.
Two different shedding methods were developed for the harness loom-one where any one harness or combination of harnesses was lifted while the other harnesses remained stationary. [3] This type of loom is known as a rising shed loom, and examples include the table loom, dobby loom or the Jack loom. [5]
It was a workshop specialized in producing dobby looms. [3] [4] In 1909, the company opened a new manufacturing site in Faverges, Haute-Savoie, France. After the death of Rudolph Schelling in the same year, the company was renamed to Gebrüder Stäubli ("Stäubli Bros.").
It is the "Jacquard head" that adapts to a great many dobby looms that allow the weaving machine to then create the intricate patterns often seen in Jacquard weaving. Jacquard-driven looms, although relatively common in the textile industry, are not as ubiquitous as dobby looms which are usually faster and much cheaper to operate.
